Just want to point out before we move on the PFAS opportunity, the EPA has just recently published the testing limits, the guidelines for drinking water that came in at four parts per trillion for a number of the PFAS compounds.

In addition, the EPA has taken “significant steps” in recent years to understand and address PFAS in pesticides, including the removal of 12 PFAS ingredients from pesticide manufacturing, the spokesperson added.

Prof Taylor said there had been work done looking at PFAS in cattle, but there were questions about the hot spots where PFAS contamination had occurred and what to do with them.

So, if PFAS are as bad for us and our environment as many conscientious companies and states believe, then why would anyone in Vermont believe it to be a great idea to use ProcellaCOR, a toxic herbicide with a potential PFAS as its main ingredient?

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has millions of gallons of PFAS-laden waste (PFAS are used in firefighting foams) it would like to destroy.

During Thursday’s floor session, in response to claims that the amendment would impede the state’s ability to pursue “real PFAS reform,” Nygren said he wanted to at least “begin a conversation” about PFAS contamination.

We expect to get more specific information about the intersection between the PFAS issue and the solid waste industry atGlobal Waste Management Symposium, to be held in February this year, where PFAS is the subject of two full sessions.

Barrilleaux explained all but four of Madison’s wells have been tested for PFAS, the four being seasonal wells and while PFAS chemicals are detected in ten of the nineteen tested, they are usually only presenting trace levels.

That would force PFAS producers like 3M, DuPont and Chemours, which also sent corporate officers to testify, to pay PFAS cleanup costs that could quickly total billions of dollars.

The ditch with the highest PFAS concentrations, “Ditch A,” is located on Tyco property, and a water extraction treatment system was built this past fall to filter the PFAS out of it.

The EPA is moving forward on the drinking water component of its PFAS action plan by requesting the Office of Management review its proposed regulatory determinations for two types of PFAS.

The widespread use of PFAS has given new meaning to the word “ubiquitous” – PFAS truly are everywhere.

One of their findings was a link between high PFAS’s and a lower metabolic rate in the patients with high levels of PFAS’s.

Additionally, extended periods of exposure to PFAS or high concentrations of the chemicals is harmful to humans.

An equally great worry is how such products affect workers in the plants manufacturing them, who may be exposed to heavy ambient PFAS concentrations and may be inhaling them or otherwise ingesting them when they alight on lips, hands, or food.

As the public becomes increasingly aware of the PFAS crisis, a wave of lawsuits has emerged seeking compensation for individuals harmed by exposure.

At the end of the third quarter 2022, PenCom data show that 10 states are remitting their employer and employee contributions to the PFAs.

Bassey said that the association in the course of its training, listened to challenges contributors were facing, which include unremitted contributions by employers to PFAs.

Birnbaum said PFAS could be building up inside consumers every time they floss their teeth, “creating a situation that can lead to chronic disease,” she said.

But again, I expect that this ability to treat PFAS will be very, very demanded over the next few years, not only in the U.S. but elsewhere.
